Strengths:
Well managed Bank in leadership of Mr. Ahuja with core team from global banks. 60% branches in rural area. Lending money in agriculture, micro finance, transportation etc. The bank, which was earlier primarily into lending to local traders in Maharashtra, is now also giving loans to mid-level companies as well as small and medium enterprises. It has also entered treasury, foreign exchange, and trade and cash management segments. In retail lending, it had taken over RBS India''s home loan and credit card businesses.
Challenges as per Mr. Ahuja:
The new set of banks, that is, payments banks and small finance banks, will cause some competition in the beginning due to their higher spending on infrastructure and customer acquisition and ability to operate with low margins to begin with, though they, too, will have to sustain themselves in the longer run.
Grey market premium is started, as of today Rs. 40 and Kostak Rs. 800.
This bank is new and it’s NPA is in manageable level at present. Bank shows robust growth in last five years. Due new in market, it’s NPA will not rise in next few years. Professionally managed bank. Company is asking 23 times from its present earnings. It is comparable with listed peers also.
I suggest apply for this IPO. Investors will get listing gain also. For better returns investors should wait long (2 to 5 years). IPO size is almost similar as MGL and demand from retails is also high. I think allotment is tough in retail (1:4 or 1:5).
